    Why Shoot a Full-Auto UZI in Poland?

    The UZI is the submachine gun that defined the category. Designed in Israel in the late 1940s and built around a telescoping bolt that wraps over the barrel, it packs a 9 mm select-fire weapon into something barely longer than a large pistol. It served in the IDF for decades, armed the US Secret Service, and appeared in more films than almost any other firearm — which is exactly why so many visitors put it at the top of their list.

    Shooting it full-auto is the point. The UZI fires 9 mm at roughly 600 rounds per minute from an open bolt, and because the receiver is heavy steel the recoil is a smooth, low rumble rather than a violent climb. It is one of the easiest full-auto guns to control on your very first burst, which makes it the ideal introduction to select-fire shooting before you move to an AK or an M16.

    For a European visitor this is a firearm you almost certainly cannot touch at home. Full-auto weapons are banned outright for civilians across the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Ireland. In Poland, a visitor with photo ID can fire a genuine select-fire UZI at a licensed range on the day, under instructor supervision, with no permit and no licence of any kind.

    Sessions run one instructor per shooter. You start with the manual of arms and the open-bolt safety brief, fire single rounds and then short two-to-three round bursts at 10 metres, learn to walk the bursts back onto target, and finish with longer bursts and reactive steel. Fifty rounds is a solid taster; a hundred is where you actually learn to run a submachine gun.

    Comparison

    UZI vs Full-Auto AK47 — What Changes?

    Both are on site, and firing them back to back is the honest way to feel what caliber does to full-auto control.

    Start with the UZI: cheap ammunition, gentle recoil and enough rounds to actually learn burst control. Then move to the AK47 for the power. Most visitors shoot both in the same session, and that back-to-back comparison is the part they talk about afterwards.

    FAQ

    Full-Auto UZI — Common Questions

    Can I shoot a full-auto UZI in Poland without a licence?

    Yes. Polish law lets visitors shoot any firearm, including select-fire weapons, at a licensed range under instructor supervision. No firearms licence, no FAC, no permit — you only need a valid ID or passport.

    How much does it cost to shoot a full-auto UZI?

    9 mm ammunition is 3,50 PLN per round — instructor and gun rental included, no hidden fees. Fifty rounds is 175 PLN and makes a proper taster; a hundred rounds is 350 PLN.

    Is the UZI hard to shoot on full-auto?

    It is the easiest full-auto gun on our line. The heavy steel receiver and mild 9 mm cartridge keep the muzzle down, so most first-time shooters keep their bursts on target within a magazine or two.

    Why is the UZI so famous?

    It is the submachine gun that defined the category: Israeli-designed, carried by the IDF for decades and by the US Secret Service, and a fixture of action cinema. Almost no European civilian can own or fire one.

    Can I combine it with other firearms?

    Yes, and most people do. An UZI block sits perfectly next to a full-auto AK47, an M16, a CZ Scorpion EVO, a Glock 17 or an AR15 in the same visit.

    Do I need any shooting experience?

    No. Many visitors fire an UZI as their first ever firearm. You get a full safety brief, then single shots, then bursts — one instructor per shooter throughout.

    How do I get to the range?

    We are in Pawłów (49-300), Opolskie, about 45 minutes from Wrocław Airport. A LUXCAB taxi transfer is around 250 złoty; details on the trip planning page.

    How many rounds should I book?

    Fifty rounds (175 PLN) is a proper taster. A hundred rounds is where burst control clicks and you start hitting steel consistently.

    Is full-auto hard to control?

    The UZI is the easiest full-auto we have. The heavy steel receiver and mild 9 mm cartridge keep the muzzle down, and your instructor coaches every burst.

    Can beginners shoot it?

    Yes. Many visitors fire an UZI as their very first firearm. The safety brief, grip and stance come first, then single shots before any burst.

    Can I shoot other full-auto guns the same day?

    Yes. The UZI pairs naturally with a full-auto AK47, M16 or CZ Scorpion EVO, and with a Glock or AR15 block in the same visit.

    Do I get photos of my session?

    Yes. You keep your targets and we take photos and short video clips during the session at no extra charge.

    How do I reach the range from Wrocław?

    Pawłów (49-300), Opolskie — about 45 minutes from Wrocław Airport. A LUXCAB taxi transfer is around 250 złoty; see the trip planning page.
